Written Question
Genetically Modified Organisms: Crops
Thursday 22nd January 2015

Asked by: Michael Meacher (Labour - Oldham West and Royton)

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, when she expects commercial planting of GM crops to begin in England and Wales.

Answered by Dan Rogerson

We are not expecting commercial GM planting here for a few years at least. There are no types of GM crop seed in the current pipeline for EU approval that are likely to be marketed and grown in the UK.
